In addition, there are confidential correspondence and documents of hearings of the Armenian Delegation; Armenian memorials including maps; extracts from letters; correspondence of the American Committee for Relief in the Near East; private letters presented at the Peace Conference in Paris in 1919; and a typescript of "Note sur la question Armenienne" by Nubar Pasha, including a hand-colored map of Armenia within the Ottoman Empire. There are also documents and correspondence related to the Armenian-American protest against the Lausanne Treaty, and a memorandum by the High Armenian Clergy "A la Conscience de la Chrétienté," dated Athens, November 30, 1920.
